• SQL Server BULK INSERT and BCP Active Directory Delegation after SQL 2005 migration

  Not sure if anyone else out there is having this problem but we recently migrated some of our databases to SQL 2005. We have some processes that use BULK INSERT or BCP to import the data. On the new server I required that the files we import are stored and held on the FileStore not the database server. If the user uses SQL authentication this work fine. However, if the user is using Integrated Authentication it fails saying that it could not find the file or access is denied. The SQL Server services are using a domain account and they have access to the share where the file resides, otherwise SQL authentication would not work. After some web searches I found out that in SQL 2000 would automatically impersonate as the SQL Service ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Custom History Control

  We would like to add a tab to the work items that is similar to the History tab in its functionality, but only lists times where the work item state transitioned and who did it. I could figure it out by reading the database, but this isn't recommended since the DB schema could change. Also, I would need some way to perform a query when the work item's form is shown. I could add a trigger to modify a custom field that contained the information, but again, the trigger would be referencing the schema. Also, I don't like adding to the database in this fashion. If there is an event that is fired every time a work item is changed, I could have the event call a web service and let it modify a custom field if the state had changed. This s ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Question about audio fingerprinting

  hi, The only information I can find about Audio Fingerprinting is in WM10 it is done using metadata and in WM11 it is waveform fingerprinting. I have tested that and its working fine.

• .NET Development Please help: How to validate a flat file against xml schema?

  Dear Experts, I have the following 2 files: - a well formatted flat file (text file); - a XML schema that correponds to the above text file. This XML schema file defines the clearly the positions and lengh of the each of the fields in the flat file. Actually this XML schema was created using Biztalk. Now I would like to create a program that can validate the flat file against the XML schema. Is it possible to achieve this If direct validation is not possible, I am thinking to create an XSLT file based on the above two files and then uses .NET classes to do transformation on the flat file. In case the flat file does not comply with the XML Schema, the transformation will be failed and the correponding errors would be given out. ...Show All

Can this be achieved with out any custom coding using Installer class. I appreciate if someone can provide me with some info.

Open the MSI file with Orca, find the Control table in the left side table list. Then find the WebFolderForm column with TARGETVDIR in the Property column aand change the Attributes value in that row fr ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Issue with soft keys...

I have a problem that is very similar to this post: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=94963&SiteID=1 However, my setup is different, and that thread was created in 2005, so I thought I'd start a new one.
